Free Research tool Brisbane Overland Flow Path

Ok so from time to time I find a property in Brisbane.
As you know my main focus is Sydney, but I have done stuff before in Brisbane and the Real Estate agents are really really nice.
Yes there are deals up there , but also issues.
one of them is Overland Flow Path.

FLOOD AND PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT FLAGS: Overland Flow Path - Mapping indicates this property is in an overland flow path. Overland flow is the excess run-off during high rainfall events that travels overland following low-lying, natural drainage paths. Such flooding commonly occurs when underground drainage exceeds capacity. It is recommended you consult a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland to determine this property’s habitable floor level and flooding depth.

This could mean that development could needs a extensive Hydraulics Engineer Report and should spark
warning bells.

So how do you find out.Freebie !!!!!! YEs!!!! give it to me........
click http://flood.brisbane.qld.gov.au/floodwise_property_report/
and put in the address and it will tell you straight away.
Wow cool.
but just because it has the issue might not be something that you cannot overcome.
